Members of a Hamilton gym completed a Spanish challenge to raise funds for Beatson Cancer Charity.

The 12-strong team from Body Morph Fitness travelled to Spain and successfully climbed the 4000ft La Concha mountain in aid of the charity.

Incredibly, they set off on a 6am flight and returned home on the last flight to Glasgow that same day.

Body Morph owner Kenneth Muir, who has previously fought cancer, organised the challenge for his cousin, Claire, who is currently fighting the disease.

He said: “My cousin has recently undergone life-saving treatment at the Beatson.

“And, being a cancer survivor myself, I wanted to do something that had never been done before to raise money for the charity.

“We initially set a target of £10,000 and we were delighted to be able to hand over a cheque to the Beatson for £16,000 to go towards helping other patients facing cancer.”

Claire was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2016 after going to the hospital feeling extremely unwell. Following a CT scan, she was diagnosed and told that it was inoperable and incurable.

She was then referred to the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre’s Gynaecology Oncology Clinic, where she felt things started to seem more positive. Claire has undergone three rounds of chemotherapy and surgery to remove the tumour and has recently completed a clinical trial.

Kenneth added: “The presentation event was attended by four members of the Beatson Charity along with the Body Morph team and councillors Kenny McCreary and Martin Hose – thanks to all who attended.”
